I can’t remember what oppy it had mighty, but I remember it wasn’t anything special. Only a 40 or 42 cube, very common and fairly low horsepower. It wasn’t a big deal to me. I did find a 21 horse 46 cube oppy at the junkyard with very good compression I thought about picking up. Just don’t know what I’d put it on. Was a newer one too. Like 2001 or something. It was at least 2000

Got the engine set on and 3 of the 4 bolts finger tight. Both flywheels are off, looks like I will need a washer to finish the flywheel swap and that’s where I left off for tonight. The shroud is just sitting on the engine.

I really love how the black frame looks under the engine. Hoping to be done painting the whole thing by haspin

Honestly, if they trusted me to, I would meet you about halfway. Or if I’m in Kentucky to begin with I think I’m about an hour from you. We could meet up and haul MUTT to my place and head to haspin. I’d love to go on a romp with you

I just thought of something. Most people use fuel line as their transaxle vent. What if I took a fuel shut off and added that to the breather which would make it a vent shutoff. That way if I’m gonna hit a mud hole or deep water or something I can just close the vent

It sounds like a good idea, if you can remember to close it lol. That's why I like the idea of putting a filter on it with a short length of tube pointing down (like a motocross bike gas tank vent) so water can't get in it. If you're going in really deep water, having that valve there too would be nice.

Breather idea should work , you could run the line up to your dash and just find a nice 1/4 inch water valve with a smooth ball valve in brass and mount it there so its more accessible and so you woulnt forget to turn it back on.

Even though like Rich said there's probably not enough vacuum to draw oil, you could mount a little catch can thing somewhere right at the engine if you were worried about it. Or just have it go up to the inside of the dash and then to the engine, let gravity keep the oil in the trans haha.

A piece of 5" long 1" PVC capped on either end, two barbed fittings. Put fittings towards the top,180* apart, trans side fitting a bit lower than the intake side. Easy. If you even bothered with such a thing, haha. Just use clear hose and put a bit where you can see it, maybe run it to the top of the dash and back down to the frame, then to the intake.

I wouldn't bother with ATF. 90 weight is fine. I didn't have trouble with the 75w-90 in the 18* weather with Orion.

Actually I’m gonna keep the stock intake. I have no problem with it. I’m thinking maybe drill a hole in the plastic 90* elbow of the factory intake and put in a corse thread barb there to put the hose on.
